South River commercial thinning 2000 environmental assessment

This alternative proposes commercial thinning and density management of 18 units, composed of 272 acres of GFMA and 79 acres of Riparian Reserves. All of the proposed Riparian Reserve treatments would be located in Section 19, T. 28 S., R. 8 W. There are no fish-bearing streams adjacent to or within any of the proposed units. Riparian Reserves widths are based on a site potential tree height of 220 feet for the East Fork Coquille River watershed, 180 feet for the Upper Middle Fork Coquille River Watershed Analysis Unit and Middle South Umpqua River/Dumont Creek watershed, and 160 feet for the South Umpqua River watershed.
Approximately 150 acres would be designated for ground-based harvesting. The remaining 201 acres would be thinned using cable yarding systems capable of maintaining a minimum of one-end log suspension, and having a minimum lateral-yarding capability of 100 feet. Also includes road construction and renovation.
